From Missouri.the Confederates at St. Joseph. St. Louis, Sept. 14. --Advices from North Missouri, (through Northern sources,) state that since the withdrawal of the Federal forces from St. Joseph, the Secessionists of that region are arming again. Some 2,000 are concentrated in Andrew county, under Major Poller, and about the same number of Unionists, composed of Missourians and Iowans, under Colonels Croner and Andrews, are stationed in the same region, and both are preparing for a bNorth Missouri, (through Northern sources,) state that since the withdrawal of the Federal forces from St. Joseph, the Secessionists of that region are arming again. Some 2,000 are concentrated in Andrew county, under Major Poller, and about the same number of Unionists, composed of Missourians and Iowans, under Colonels Croner and Andrews, are stationed in the same region, and both are preparing for a battle, which is shortly expected. Washington telegrams of yesterday announce that St. Joseph is now completely in the hands of the Confederates. This news confirms the following: Hannibal, Mo., Sept. 12. --All we hear confirms the previous reports that the Secessionists have full possession of St. Joseph and are doing pretty much as they please in that city. It is reported that they have taken control of the municipal affairs of the corporation, preventing egress and ingress of both

rangements for the care of the sick and wounded soldiers, now and hereafter. We have now, it says, two--including Western Virginia, we may rather say three--battle-fields, upon which great actions may at any time be expected to take place, with more or less of casualty to our brave troops engaged therein. It behooves all the Confederate States to take timely order to meet this need. From Louisiana has been sent a large proportion of the armies in the field, in Eastern Virginia and in Missouri, white in Western Virginia and in Kentucky, our State is represented by the presence of several companies. At convenient places arrangements should at once be made for the establishment of hospitals for the care of the sick and wounded, and also for the provision of comfortable clothing, diet, and cooks, those necessary securities of good health in camp. Nor should the important article of good water-proof tents be forgotten. It is now the eve of the rainy season, when this necessity wil
rginian learns from a friend, that has just arrived from Harper's Ferry, that the Yankees keep up a fire daily, from the Maryland shore, upon the citizens of that place. They shoot at men, women and children, indiscriminately. A few days since, they shot a little girl, causing, fortunately, only a flesh wound. Some little boys that were aping the military in the streets, were fired upon for half an hour, Dr. N. Marmion, the most venerable physician in the town, (a son-in-law to the inventor of Hall's breech-loading rifle, and brother-in-law of Hon. W. P. Hall, the Lincoln Lieut. Gov. of Missouri,) was shot as he was riding along the road, and only escaped by deserting his horse. His houses the old Wager Mansion on the hill, was since fired into. The citizens appointed a committee to remonstrate with the Federal officers upon the subject, who promised a correction; but the practice is still continued.--These are the barbarians that are to win us back to the "paternal Government."
The Marion of the war. --General Jeff. Thompson, says the Memphis Avalanche, is by universal consent regarded as the Marion of this war. He is followed by an army without sheets or hats, and with coats and pants curtailed of their fair proportions, but who can whip with case double the number of Hessians who may dare in encounter them. They are a breed of warriors, the like of which was never seen. A few hundred of them are holding Southwestern Missouri against Fremont and all his hosts. The response of Gen. Jeff. to Fremont's proclamation is a model document. Napoleon never excelled it. We confess a special admiration of the great Guerilla Chief.
Affairs in the interior. --Passengers from Jefferson City inform the St. Louis Republican, of the 13th, that Gen. S. Price has entered Warrensburg, and taken possession of that town. We are clearly of opinion that this wants confirmation. Two respectable citizens of Boone county, informed Col. A. P. Richardson, of Jefferson City, that 1,000 mounted men are stationed at Kinkead's Mills, fourteen miles north of Columbia; that Martin Green was between the junction of Hannibal and St. Joseph and North Missouri Roads, with 3,000 men; and that "Military Bill" Harris was to join Green and take Columbia the night of the 11th inst. Pickets were seen three miles north of Columbia. A bank is located in that town. Mr. Smith, a Government agent for the purchase of horses, was taken prisoner by Harris and $1,200 and all his horses taken from him.
vernment have, in this magnificent lot of tobacco, a fund sufficient to cover a very large portion of the recent Yankee confiscations at the North. Auguste Belmont is a well known banker in Wall street — the same whom Secretary Chase recently sent over to London to attempt a negotiation of the Federal war loan, and who met with a signal failure. A. Belmont is also the intimate friend and financial agent of Gen. Fremont, and is doubtless a sympathizer in that officer's brutal measures in Missouri. We have no doubt that the Confederate Receiver under the sequestration act, Mr. Giles, will look promptly after this tobacco of Belmont. Belmont is the American agent of the Rothchilds; but is the leading member and probably one of the wealthiest men of that house. He may attempt the device of pretending that the tobacco is really not his own, but is the property of the European Rothchilds. Such a pretence, however, would be treated with great distrust and jealousy by our Courts.
